Open House Wednesday for El Cerrito Active Transportation Plan

The City of El Cerrito has come up with nine focus area projects in its draft Active Transportation Plan.

Take a look for yourself at the Community Open House this Wednesday, July 1st from 6:30 pm -8:00 pm at El Cerrito City Hall, Council Chambers, 10890 San Pablo Avenue.

It’s an update to the City’s 2007 Circulation Plan for Bicyclists and Pedestrians. The Plan evaluates existing bicycle and pedestrian network to identify circulation gaps and meet changing community needs and also re-evaluated projects identified in the 2007 Circulation Plan that have not been completed.

Based on extensive community engagement gathered over the past two years, the draft Plan proposes nine focus area projects, revised bicycle and pedestrian networks, a policy toolkit, and a program framework to making walking and biking easier in El Cerrito. The nine focus area projects are:

1. BART to Bay Trail Access Improvements

2. Ohlone Greenway Crossing Improvements

3. Citywide Wayfinding

4. Arlington Boulevard Pedestrian Improvements

5. East Side Bicycle Boulevard

6. East Side Bicycle Boulevard Wayfinding

7. Key Boulevard Improvements

8. Fairmount Avenue Improvements

9. Potrero Avenue Improvements

If you can’t make it to the Open House, the draft Active Transportation Plan is available for review on the City’s website at www.el-cerrito.org/ATP. Hard copies are available for public review at City Hall, the El Cerrito Community Center and the El Cerrito Library.
